Anushka Sharma Starrer Chakda ‘Xpress Teaser Unveiled, Ends Speculation On Lead Actress

Fans of Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma can rejoice, as she will finally be seen in a film after nearly 4 years. She will portray the role of real life cricketer Jhulan Goswami in her biopic title Chakda ‘Xpress. There were several speculations earlier that the NH10 actress had walked out of the project. But the makers have unveiled its official teaser today confirming what we so badly wanted to see, Sharma as the former Indian cricket captain for the women’s team. 

Talking about Chakda ‘Xpress Anushka said, “It is a really special film because it is essentially a story of tremendous sacrifice. Chakda Xpress is inspired by the life and times of former Indian captain Jhulan Goswami and it will be an eye-opener into the world of women’s cricket. At a time when Jhulan decided to become a cricketer and make her country proud on the global stage, it was very tough for women to even think of playing the sport. This film is a dramatic retelling of several instances that shaped her life and also women’s cricket.” 

On playing the role of Jhulan, the Sultan actress added, “We should all salute Jhulan and her teammates for revolutionizing women’s cricket in India. It is their hard work, their passion and their undefeated mission to bring attention to women’s cricket that has turned things around for generations to come. As a woman, I was proud to hear Jhulan’s story and it is an honour for me to try and bring her life to audiences and cricket lovers.” Chakda Xpress is directed by Prosit Roy and produced by Anushka’s production house Clean Slate Filmz. The film will premiere on Netflix.
